Money?
I think you're spot on with the cost cap. Plus other teams wanting to emulate McLaren's move with Piastri- they have arguably one of the strongest driver lineups right now and he's in his second season.
Driver salaries aren't part of the cost cap. My guess is that the reason we are seeing rookies is because they are pretty good(Antonelli, Bearman, Lawson, Colapinto, Doohan, potentially Bortoleto) and because the existing guard have been poor(sargeant, Riccardo, Magnussen, zhou along with bottas being a victim of his shitty car). Rookies adoption was also stymied by the fact that the 2019 and 2020 f2 lineup were pretty weak overall. Tsunoda is the best talent I can remember and even he is at an average level on the current grid
TIL! Thank you!
